The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes

The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes is an anthology of thirty-three Sherlock Holmes pastiches and parodies, first published in 1944.
The first collection of Holmes pastiches, it consists of stories written by many prominent authors including Agatha Christie, Mark Twain, O. Henry, Anthony Boucher, James M. Barrie, and Anthony Berkeley Cox. It was edited by the American mystery writers Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee under their joint pseudonym Ellery Queen. The book angered the heirs of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and it was pulled from publication after the original run.
